I had some fabric I just couldn't cut, so I put borders on it and just quilted it. I was very happy with the results. Let me see if I can find a picture of it, just in case it might work for you. I love your fabric!!

I found this one while surfing yesterday. It lends itself to large patterns.
Diamond Bouquet

ETA: Love the kitty pattern/quilt!

Would you consider a quilt by Modern Quilt Relish? I did one (see below) and it was so much fun. Your fabric may work. The one I did is called TV Dinner. http://modernquiltrelish.blogspot.ca...tern-shop.html

I've done that and it's a fabulous way to showcase your fabric. The one I did, I used the feature fabric in the 9-patch as well, so it looked like the 9s were floating in the feature fabric.

If you have enough a Kalidedascope really lends itself to large print fabric

I kept mine until I was doing a quilt it would make a lovely backing.

I'm following this thread with great interest - you've all given me some great ideas. I have some beautiful fabrics that I do not wish to cut into small pieces but I now know what I'm going to do with some of them. Many thanks.
